It staggers me they will cut the staff earning less than £20,000 a year but keep those on £48.000 ...you won't see them cooking school dinners or cleaning up human waste .. Why the bottom up and not the top down?

‘No-one will be immune’ from the wide sweeping dramatic cuts to be made by Dorset County Council. ' Well, yes they will! The fattest cats controlling the process will survive unscathed because they determine who goes and what is cut - and it certainly won't be their own over generous helpings at the publicly funded trough. We really need any decisions like these to be made outside the Council by an independent body, because the over fed Council turkeys currently in charge will NEVER vote for Christmas Day and the cuts undoubtedly should start at the top end.

Does that mean there will be a big cut in councillors allowances? Let's start at the top and work down . Not the other way around .

Let us not forget why these cuts are being made - because of the fraudulent and reckless behaviour of the banks.

I Bet you that the first thing he will do is Put UP the rates, if he was any good he would freeze them for the next few years. UKIP would bring a new set of values to the clapped out council ideas and act for the people instead of the fat cats at the top spouting the same old.

Indeed. Privatise profit - socialise losses is their strategy.

Don't forget the legislation changes over the last 10 - 15 years which allowed them to do it.

Indeed, and wasn't most of that that under the same Government that poured £billions which didn't really exist into expanding the public sector at every opportunity?

Unfortunately this situation really is coming top down - it is the Bullingdon boys up in the big smoke who are responsible. A big cull there would be useful. If you're living on a trust fund you really have no idea of how to run a country and shouldn't be doing so. Time to get some representatives of "everyman" in there who has a grasp on everyday reality. Never mind cutting tax for the 1% you idiots.

If I could make a suggestion council leader Spencer Flower sir, why not be daring and lead by example. You could always resign and suggest that the new leaders salary should be 60% ofthe money you are getting now. That would certainly save some money.
